BENSON – A 29 year-old man was killed in a single vehicle accident early this morning (Thursday) in Johnston County.
The accident was reported at 4:07am on Interstate 40 near the 324 mile marker.
The Highway Patrol said Benjamin Foster Davis of Apex was operating a Ford F-250 pickup that traveled off the interstate, struck a guardrail and overturned. Davis was ejected from the pickup and died at the scene.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation. Alcohol is not suspected as a factor.
The collision briefly closed eastbound lanes of I-40.
Ejected? Was he not wearing a seatbelt?
Doesn’t appear that he was wearing one, but I don’t think it said either way
I had a friend ejected from the vehicle who was wearing a seatbelt. The force of the impact broke the seatbelt
Eventually not!
Eventually not?
Did you mean evidently not? These comments are so cruel. I hate I scrolled down but this person has my first name and I know this family. I just wanted to make sure the family knew that THIS Jenna would never make such an inconsiderate stupid comment. Have the day you deserve!
Why should the government care if a person is wearing a seatbelt the only person hurt is the one not wearing there seat belt
Maybe….because so many, if injured might very well expect the government to pay their hospital expenses…..
You can’t have it both ways…
Yet, too many want all convenience and freedom, but in the final analysis
expect their ‘government’ to help them out….
Reread your posted name over and over!
Does it matter if he was the point is he died and the family is devastated there holiday will never be the same , he was still so young , my heart is broken for his family nobody should ever have to bury the child.
Absolutely…unfortunately, human nature often looks for the liability to ease the shock of a ‘happening’…which of us is flawless on any level?
Lord, be with the family. Give them the strength they need to endure. In Jesus name Amen
RIP🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You people need a hobby! This my highlight of the day is, reading yawls stupid comments. Does it really matter if he was wearing a seatbelt. NO! Thats between him and the Lord! And you need to have respect for his family. Get a life and stop being a coward. Post your name when you comment!!!
R.I.P. Ben. Seen him on JohnDocs YouTube channel and loved his passion for cars and how smart he was. Ben was so nice acting and will definitely be missed. Always wanted to meet him but never got to. Godspeed Ben
